Gobe Productive: Wrap text around images
Posted on September 9th, 1997 by shacker
In Gobe Productive 2.0, you can flow text around images. Try this:
- Open a document (either a native doc or a Microsoft Word doc).
- Tap Alt+Shift+T to make the toolbar appear along the left of the window.
- Click the pointing hand button to toggle into selection mode
- Drag an image out of the Tracker and into the document. Drag any corner to resize as necessary.
- Optionally tear off the transparency palette. Drag the transparency slider back and forth to control the opacity of your image.
- Click the Text Wrap icon on the toolbar (a blue diamond) and select a wrap style (tight wrap is good for most purposes). Text will wrap around the image.
- Drag the image around on the page to see how text reflows dynamically around it.
Memorize this trick and use it in your BeOS demos.
